Our names are Andrew Carruthers and Richard Palm, and together we lead the teams responsible for Sequence & Interlocking within HVDC Control & Protection. Our work sits at the operational core of an HVDC station.
We define the logic that ensures equipment is operated safely and correctly. We develop interlocking principles, automated switching sequences, operating states, and the conditions that determine when a station is ready to perform a specific action. Our solutions help ensure that complex HVDC systems operate safely, predictably, and reliably throughout their lifecycle.
As HVDC technology continues to evolve, so do the challenges. New technologies, new customer requirements, and new ways of operating power systems continuously shape how we work. Success depends on our team members who can understand the bigger picture, exercise strong engineering judgement, and transform complex requirements into robust and reliable solutions.
We are looking for experienced engineers who enjoy technical ownership, system thinking, and solving challenging engineering problems together with highly skilled colleagues.
This is not a role for someone looking to simply execute predefined tasks. It is a role for you who want to understand how things work, influence technical decisions, and contribute to the future of HVDC technology.
“As managers, our goal is to create an environment where everyone can do their best work while continuing to develop their skills and expertise. We strongly believe in open technical discussions, knowledge sharing, mentoring, and a psychologically safe environment where questions, feedback, and continuous learning are encouraged. We value every person's voice and believe that diverse perspectives make us stronger.” Andrew Carruthers & Richard Palm, Hiring Managers
